The promise of artificial intelligence: Redefining management in the workforce of the future

Overview

Recent advancements in AI will affect all levels of management, from the C-suite to the front line. AI not only presents unprecedented opportunities for value creation, but also daunting challenges for executives and managers.

AI challenges managers to reconsider their roles and redefine operating principles. It will increase collaboration between humans and machines. And it will require managers to adapt their training, performance and talent acquisition strategies.

About The Research

In August and September 2015, the Accenture Institute for High Performance, in partnership with Accenture Strategy, surveyed 1,770 front-line, mid-level and executive-level managers from 14 countries (“The Impact of Cognitive Computing in Management” study, 2015). Our survey respondents represented 17 distinct industries and provided thoughts on artificial intelligence’s potential impact on their jobs, perceptions of their current tasks and skills and the future of their positions.

From April 2014 through October 2015, the Accenture Institute for High Performance conducted 37 interviews with executives that incorporated insights from seven industries and nine countries on the topic of leading the digital enterprise. Interviewees shared their thoughts on their company’s digital transformation efforts, industry developments, the evolution of their roles in relation to digital disruption and ways to keep up with increasingly tech-savvy employees and customers.
